Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Acceleration Practice
Trava [24]

Answer:

0.85 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time. In mathematically, it can be expressed as:

\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{\vec v_2 - \vec v_1}{t_2-t_1}}

Our final velocity is given to be 17 m/s in 20 seconds. Initial velocity is at starting point which is 0 m/s in 0 second. Therefore:

\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{17-0}{20-0}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{17}{20}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = 0.85 \ \, \sf{m/s^2}}

Therefore, the acceleration of a horse from starting point to 17 m/s in 20 seconds is 0.85 m/s²

Calculate the frequency of the wave shown below.
jenyasd209 [6]

\color{skyblue}{ \underline{  \frak { \: option \: ( \: c \: )  =  2 \: hertz   ✓}}}

\:  \:

Given :

  • Wavelength ( λ ) = 2 m

\:  \:

  • Speed = 4 m/s

\:  \:

We, have to find frequency :

\:

  • \large \tt \: Frequency =  \frac{Speed}{Wavelength ( \: λ \: )}

\:  \:

  • \large \tt \: Frequency =  \frac{4}{2}

\:  \:

  • \large \tt \: Frequency = \cancel  \frac{4}{2}

\:  \:

  • \pink{ \boxed{\large \tt \: Frequency =2 \: Hertz ✓}}

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

a) in solving the first question, we will be choosing a spherical ball of radius 1 m, Therefore the width of the object is the diameter = 2m.

b)Given that and according to the question, the radius of the electron's orbit = 1x105 x radius of the object = 1x105 x1 = 1x105 m
